Fully plug-and-play, besides the fact that you should probably get G HUB. The sound will be raw out of the box, but that's not a problem. Although the microphone's internal noise is relatively low, it is still present, and must be reduced in order to achieve optimal results. Similarly, if you have a low voice, it is recommended that you reduce the low frequencies somewhat; otherwise, you may end up with a slight tambourine effect when speaking into the mic (you need a pop filter)
